[Q] Can't boot after CM9[SOLVED]

Hey XDA
I tried to install CM9 today, it fail...
I have unlocked my phone using htcdev.com.
Then I followed this:
If you unlocked your phone via htcdev.com, you must flash the included
boot.img after flashing the ROM in recovery:
- Boot into fastboot, either by:
- Turning phone on whilse holding VOLUME DOWN, or
- adb reboot bootloader, or
- using an option in your recovery (eg. Reboot Bootloader)
- Connect your phone to your PC and copy the boot.img from the ROM .zip
to the same place as fastboot.exe and issue the following command:
- fastboot flash boot boot.img
Failing to follow these instructions on a htcdev.com unlocked device will
cause the ROM to fail to boot.
And now it just stands with a mobile and a ret warning sign. I can get in bootloader, but that's all. I have the CM9.zip on the sdcard but I forgot to run it before I did the above mentioned. I have tried to reset the mobile from bootloader nothing helps
Pleas help me what should I do?

So what is your problem exactly ? Do you have a custom recovery like 4EXT ? It's needed in order to apply the CM9.zip.

None
No i have not installed any recovery app. I cant start my mobile

1.install a custom recovery like 4ext or cwm
(2. Backup current system) this time you don't have to do this since you don't have a working system at the moment.
3. Full wipe (data, system, boot, caches... Not sd card) from recovery
4. Flash ROM zip from recovery
5.flash boot.img via adb
6.reboot
7.done

I'm assuming you know how to boot into fastboot and use fastboot and adb commands. If not, just click on the link in my signature under Helpful links.
Once you're done, just put the attached file in your adb folder, then boot into fastboot and issue the command ;
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You will now have the custom 4EXT Recovery. From there, just follow the steps you outlined in your first post, and you should be up and running.
Cheers.
EDIT: I see you already got it working while I was composing my post. Congrats!

@op could you please update the thread title to something like [solved]

[Q] Problems with cleanROM 2.2 install..User Error

Okay, sorry for being such a noob. I am learning. I run the boot img file and it goes through the stuff and says now reboot to recovery to flash rom. Select Bootloader from menu then select Recovery. I have CWM installed. After it say that in cmd do i go to recovery and flash the zip file Boot.imgflasher? I tried that and it say initializing and then it says canceled. So I guess my question is what am I doing wrong? and how should i properly install this? THank you for you help. This is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011:eek:

you flash the boot.img before you go to recover, that's it.
"i go to recovery and flash the zip file Boot.imgflasher?".....NO.....
you just flash the cleanrom.zip ....

Okay so from the home screen with the phone on flash the Install boot.img after that go to bootloader and wipe data. then reboot phone and that is all?

"Fastboot flash boot boot.img" make sure u type boot twice.
Do factory reset/wipe data and wipe cache. Flash rom. Reboot into bootloader. Fastboot flash boot boot.img. reboot phone. Then reboot back into recovery to flash gapps. Should work "

so did you already flash the (right) boot.img via fastboot?

If you haven't, extract the boot.img file from the .zip and place it where you have adb/fastboot (Android SDK). Then boot into bootloader, go into Fastboot, plug phone in for "Fastboot USB" then type the following in command prompt and reboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

ive tried all that boot.img from zip even another one with the download no luck just stuck on boot with that cm9 rom on loop thanks for your help though guys any other suggestions other then just shooting myself in the head??lol

Try flashing Paranoid/AOKP and then flashing back to CM9.

flash older cm9 rom?
this is my first attempt of any ROM for this phone starting with cm9 alpha 13 does anyone recomend maybe installing a older alpha?? maybe alpha 10 cm9?? idk

Try flashing the latest alpha 14. Maybe you got a bad download of alpha 13.

did you solve your problem?
if not & you're not quite shure about flashing the boot.img properly with fastboot I set up a Tutorial yesterday:
[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot
perhaps this might help you if the above one didn't fix your problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

I had the same problem. But this worked for me.
wipe all -> flash cm9 14 -> wipe all -> flash gapps -> wipe all -> fastboot flash boot boot.img ( i used the touchfix one ).
then i got in.. but took some time first load. But now i cant get wifi to work and cant see simcontacts. Drives me nuts.
Just reflashed all with no luck.

I can't flash a custom rom

I am using TWRP recovery, and I have tried flashing Miui and Cyanogen mod, however for both of them I am stuck at the boot logo for ever.
I factory reset the phone, wiped the cache and did everything I was supposed to do. For both of them this is the first boot, and it is not working.

Try flashing your boot.img

I'm thinking you have hboot ver 1.14.
Flash your boot.img.
Steps:
download rom
extract boot.img
place boot.img in fastboot folder
place rom .zip on sd card
clean flash the .zip
boot to fastboot
connect to pc
type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
/dance

Before deciding to flash anything, you really need to watch this informative video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&...ture=player_embedded&v=wwleOote5M0&nomobile=1

Verizon pixel rooted on 7.1 looking to upgrade to 7.1.1

What's up all. So I have a Verizon pixel rooted on 7.1. I want to sideload 7.1.1 but don't want lose the ability to re root etc. Just wanna make sure I have he steps down.
-flash back to stock boot image
-sideload 7.1.1 ota
-flash twrp
-flash root
Am I missing anything??

You could also flash back to stock boot image, boot up and take the OTA actually over the air.
Also, don't flash TWRP initially, just boot TWRP, flash twrp from inside twrp, reboot into recovery, then finally flash root (make sure to read the twrp rc1 thread, post #2) reboot to let root finish, and done. (unless you want a custom Kernel, then do this very last.

After doing a twrp backup and backing up the entire device, I used this method to update with twrp and root installed. I did not lose data.
Afterwards you will need to install TWRP and root.

Ok that looks easy enough. What is the command you typed to flash the file after its modified?

This sounds like the easiest way. Where do i get the stock boot image from? Do i extract it from the factory image zip file? And then once I get it what is the command I'd use to flash it?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669140 is nde63p's boot.img. If you are on something else, you can extract it's boot.img from the factory image, there's a boot file in there. Fastboot boot <img file name> will boot it, then you can take the ota, reboot because the ota needs to finish. copy twrp.zip on to sd card, (were going to need it in a minute!) then fastboot boot twrp3020rc1.img the same way. From twrp, flash the zip. tell twrp to reboot into recovery. it will reboot into twrp, from the recovery (Or dont flash the zip, you dont have to, some prefer to remain on stock recovery) and then flash SU SR5 (How to install SuperSU SR5 on TWRP RC1: Before flashing the zip, in TWRP tap on Advanced -> File Manager and scroll to and select the fstab.marlin or fstab.sailfish file and then delete it. ) then finally flash a kernel. If you are going to flash root, might as well flash ElementalX 1.01 kernel from twrp. Hope that is a bit more breakdown.

I extracted the boot.img and put in in my fastboot folder, but when I go to flash it it's saying file not found?? I named it boot.img and am typing fastboot flash boot boot.img. I've also tried fastboot boot boot.img and get the same message.
What am i doing wrong? Could I have the wrong boot image??

just double click the .bat file and it will perform all of the commands. the first boot afterwards will take a few mins.
